NMEA 2000 Setup—view and configure the devices connected to the NMEA 2000 network and set bridging to On, Off, or Auto.
•Device List—lists the NMEA 2000 devices on your network. If a NMEA 2000 device has configuration options or settings, select the device for a list of options.
•Output Bridging—output bridging occurs when a chartplotter takes NMEA 0183 data it receives from any source, formats it into NMEA 2000 data, and then sends it over the NMEA 2000 bus. Select On or Off to enable or disable this function for the chartplotter. Select Auto to allow the chartplotters on the network to negotiate with each other to determine which chartplotter will perform this function. There should not be more than one chartplotter on the network bridging NMEA 0183 data over the NMEA 2000 bus.
Wireless Devices—allows wireless devices, such as a remote control or optical mouse to communicate with the chartplotter.
Preferred Sources—allows selection of a preferred device when more than one source is available for the same function.
